Firefox fails to start following Flash Player upgrade
Using Windows 7 Adobe Flash Player install failed. Firefox now fails to start - event viewer details at the bottom of the message. I've uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it (v22.0). I've uninstalled Flash Player via the Control panel. Event Viewer shows:- Faulting application name: FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe, version: 11.6.602.180, time stamp: 0x51a4ab8c Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17725, time stamp: 0x4ec49b8f Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0002e243 Faulting process id: 0x4290 Faulting application start time: 0x01ce90313196b4b6 Faulting application path: C:\windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\FlashPlayerUpdateService.exe Faulting module path: C:\windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll Report Id: 6fe5a9c5-fc24-11e2-80bb-94de80504a75

Find your profile and delete pluginreg.dat.
And run sfc/scannow and search for missing essential system files.

Hi thanks for the reply.
I've deleted pluginreg.dat and run scannow.
scannow found nothing and firefox still doesn't start.
The error message in Event Viewer is exactly the same as before:-

You can check for malware (i doubt that, unless you got the wrong flash, should check anyways), and look at other solutions.
